The products used an inquiry-based learning approach, specifically developed in science centres/museums, where people understand by doing.
The project developed targeted informal education products:
- an interactive nano-kit for student groups, containing small exhibits, experiments with nano-objects and materials and role/team game cards
- the organisation of a video web contest each year for youngsters with an artistic approach that favours personal expression
- nano-days, featuring debates and events for the public in the partner science centres to interest and involve young people in nanotechnology themes.
